What is it?
The “Audience retention” feature in YouTube Analytics reports on the ability of your videos to keep the attention/interest of your audience.
The audience retention of a video is measured in two ways: absolute audience retention and relative audience retention.
- Absolute audience retention establishes a ratio between the number of views at a given time in the video and the number of views at the very beginning of the video. The curve varies depending on several factors: it can increase if viewers re-watch a certain section or diminish if the viewers skip ahead or leave the video.
- Relative audience retention compares the audience retention of your video to the average audience retention of all YouTube videos of a similar length. Just like the absolute audience retention, the curve of relative audience retention increases if viewers re-watch a certain section and diminishes if the viewers skip ahead or leave the video.
